RoundtableBiden: Putin threatens to go nuclearThe US president Joe Biden says Russian president Vladimir Putin isn’t "joking" when he talks about using nuclear weapons. There could be nuclear ‘armageddon’ he claims.

So is the west overestimating Putin’s intentions or will he end this war by using nukes?
